The Provincial Tree:Surer said he was impressed with the proposed restructuring program of the Midwestern Development Council and said that the Council is the only vehicle that can bring together governments at all levels along with the private sector including business, Indus- try and the man on the street. James C. Hayter of Goderich, President of M.O.R.D.C., said he felt the meeting was one of the best between Council and Government and will lead to a strengthening of the Council's role in Regional Development in Midwestern Ontario. Allan Ross, Warden of Wet= Wigton County and a Vice-Presi- dent of the Development council stated he felt that following the Council's submission on the Phase I, Design for Development that will be made later this month, that a joint effort will be made by the Development Council and the Provincial Government to hold fUrther meet- ings in an effort to settle the problems and unanswered ques- tions that arose during public hearings a few months ago on the Phase Analysis. Reeve Charles Thomas of Grey Township, Huron County, said it appeared the Council had made some headway in convincing the Government that a better financial arrangement must be forthcoming in the future. He said the Council made a strong presentation during discussions with the Minister on the subject of finances and membership. Mr. McKeough agreed with Mrs. Betty McMillan, a member of Stratford City Council and an executive member of the Development Council, when she pointed out the role of the Coun- cil has changed considerably since its founding days in 1956: The Provincial Treasurer praised the Council for its alert- ness and adoption to changing conditions and times and that the emerging role is probably more in tune with today's concern for quality and environment than some other regions of the Province. Walter W. Gowing, General Manager of the Midwestern Development Council, is present- ly preparing a document on the future role of the Council fol- lowing the Board's discussion with Mr. McKeough that will assist the Province in their clarification of Regional Devel- opment Councils and the role they must assum.?. in the future.

If it had not been for the. courage and skill of.the small air force composed of British and Canadian airmen the war might well have been lost. The Battle of Britain was the first decisive blow to the enemy - a blow which undoubted).* changed the whole aspect of the war and rocked the self- confidence of the enemy. and prizes to the value of $318.00 were won.

The date of September 15 has been, set for a. vote on liquor outlets in the Township of Hay, and all eligible voters will have the right to cast their ballots for or against two separate questions. First question on the ballot is: `are you in favour of the sale of liquor under a dining lounge lic- ence, for consumption with meals on licenced premises. Second question is: are you in favour of the sale of liquor under a lounge licence, for . consumption on licenced premises. While there has been some mis-understanding as to who ' is eligible to vote on a liquor issue in Hay Township, clerk Wayne Horner explained that 'Only those persO'ns who are eligible to vote in ta provincial election" will be able to cast their ballots on the liquor question. This means that only permanent residents in the municipality may vote, and hundreds of cottage owners will not be allowed voting rights unless they are year-round resi- dents. Mr. Horner also explained that he still has no ruling on the status of persons who are over 18 years of age, but added that he was expecting advice on this matter in the very near future. "Approximately 1100 to 1200 persons will be eligible at the pfesent time, Mr. Horner added. "However, if the age limit is in effect on this type of ballot, there will be considerably more voters added to the list." Hay Township- council was first asked to conduct a vote on the liquor question last spring, but at that time 'they advised the three property owners who were asking for a vote that they would require a petitiOn bearing at least 25 per cent of the eligible voters names, asking that such a ballot take place. • a •
